INTRODUCTION.

The County of Westchester, from its advan-
tageous position and fertile soil, was always consid-
ered one of the most important portions of the
Province of New York, and for many years before
the English conquest was a source of bitter conten-
tion between the Dutch and their neighbors of the
Colony of Connecticut. The very names of the
regions are a lesson in history and geography. To
the Dutch advancing from the west it was known as
the " Oost Dorp^' or the east village, while by the
English coming from the east and extending their
boundaries it was called the Westchester. To this
place came new settlers not only from New England
but from all parts of Long Island. This new class
of inhabitants were all united in the desire to have
Westchester considered a part of Connecticut.
Among them were men from Southampton, L. I.,
who afterward became very prominent. One of
these, Richard Mills, was one of the earliest settlers
in that village, and was the first town clerk and
schoolmaster. About 1651 he left Southampton
and settled in Newtown, but shortly after removed
to Westchester. Here the schoolmaster found him-

vn

viii Introduction.

self in hot water. The whole region was debatable
land, held and occupied by the Dutch and claimed
by the English. He soon became one of the recog-
nized leaders of the English faction. Their machi-
nations against the Dutch government were so
public and notorious that Peter Stuyvesant sent a
band of soldiers and arrested the leaders of what he
termed the " English thieves," and put them in
prison in New Amsterdam, and among these was
Richard Mills.

Now there may be some philosophical enough to
believe that

"Stone walls do nota prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage,"

but the schoolmaster was not one of them. A few
weeks in this unpleasant position brought him to his
senses, and he addressed a piteous letter to Peter
Stuyvesant, or as he calls him " My Dear Lord
Steveson " asking for release. But the individual
called by the veracious Diedrich Knickerbocker
"Peter the Headstrono- " turned a deaf ear to the
complaints of the schoolmaster, and he continued to
lanouish. Soon after he wrote another letter to the
" High Court at Manhattan " praying for relief, and
stating that he had been tenderly brought up from
his infancy, and that confinement in their prison
would *' perdite " (destroy or endanger) his life un-
less he were speedily released, and urging, as an
additional inducement, his intention " to go about

Introduction. ix

his affairs to Virginia" as soon as freed from prison.
He was soon after released on condition of his agree-
ing to do nothinor a<rainst the Dutch Government;
but the English accounts state that his sufferings
caused his death, "which happened soon after."
Such was the unhappy fate of the first town clerk
of the oldest English town, and the first English
schoolmaster in the Province of New York. In
1 710 Richard Mills of Cohansey, in New Jersey,
speaks of himself in a deed as being " grand son,
and sole heir at law of Mr. Richard Mills formerly
of Westchester." It would be interesting to know
if he has any descendants living.

Another prominent citizen was Capt. William
Barnes, who came from Southampton. He was a
son of Joshua Barnes, a very early settler in that
town, and from him and his nephew Joshua Barnes
many families of that name are descended.

Although after the conquest the original Dutch
settlers were soon outnumbered by the English, yet
there still remained a large population of that race,
who clung to the ancient language and customs of
their ancestors. This was especially true of the
region embraced in the great manor of Phillipsburgh,
which was owned by Fredrick Phillipse, the " rich
man of New Amsterdam," and his descendants down
to the end of the Revolution. The lands in this
tract were held by tenants, mostly on life leases, and
upon the death of the tenant the land and improve-
ments reverted to the Lord of the Manor, unless he

X Introduction.

saw fit to continue the heirs in possession. This is
alluded to in many of the wills.

The great manor of Cortlandt, the property of
Stephen Van Cortlandt, was also divided into farms
and held by tenants, but mostly on long leases. In
other parts of the county, as in the town or Borough
of Westchester, lands were held in fee simple, and
this accounts for their large population.

The reeion now embraced in Greenwich was
always claimed as a part of the Province of New
York, and the contest between the two colonies con-
cerning it lasted for years. To retain this tract and
give nothing in return for it exercised all the shrewd-
ness and cunninof for which the inhabitants of Con-
necticut have always been noted. As a final set-
tlement of the controversy, Connecticut gave in
exchange a strip of land one mile, three-quarters, and
twenty-seven rods wide, and sixty-eight miles long,
extendinof from near the middle of the east line of
Westchester County, to the line of Massachusetts.
This tract was known as the " Oblong" or " Equiva-
lent Lands." It was sold to a number of capitalists,
who divided it into square lots of 500 acres each.
These lots were soon sold to actual settlers, who
were attracted by the fact that they could buy their
land in fee simple, and at the time of the Revolu-
tion there were more inhabitants on the "Oblong"
in proportion to its extent, than in any of the great
manors. In preparing the following abstracts of
wills the writer has been actuated by a desire to omit

Introduction. xi

nothing that can throw any light on genealogy or
real estate. The descriptions of parcels of land are
given in the words of the will. As regards personal
property the writer makes a distinction between
articles of permanent and lasting value, and those
that are transient and perishable. If a man left to
his children or wife articles of silver ware, — as a
tankard, a porringer, or spoons, or a Bible, or a
sword, — the fact is carefully noted, as these articles
may still be in existence, and treasured as valued
heirlooms. But if he left to any of his heirs five
pounds, a cow, or a feather bed, we conclude that the
money is spent, the cow dead, and the bed worn out.
Such things are mentioned under the general name
of ''legacies." It has also been our object to omit
nothing that can throw any light on the manners and
customs of the time. The religious element in the
wills is to be especially noticed : the testator leaves
his body to the ground, and his soul to God who
gave it, in full confidence that at the " Last Great
Day" the former will be raised again by the " mighty
power of God." We have no hesitation in express-
ing our opinion that the " Know all men by these
presents," of the present time, is a very poor substi-
tute for the " In the Name of God, Amen," invari-
ably used in the ancient times.

In the wills of Jews, the expression " In the year
of our Lord " is omitted in deference to the wishes
of the testator.

Among the early Dutch residents, a funeral was

xii Introduction.

an occasion of enjoyment rather than of solemnity.
Ardent spirits were freely dispensed to those attend-
ing, and a lavish entertainment was frequently
provided. To the English population a pompous
funeral was a thing greatly desired, and not unfre-
quently was a source of expense which weighed
heavily upon the family. One of the most interest-
ing wills in this book is that of a Quaker who states
that he has frequently "borne his testimony" against
such things during his life and now " bears his last
testimony."

In early times the eldest son was supposed to be
heir at law to all lands, and some especial legacy was
very frequently left to him for the purpose of pre-
venting such a claim.

Where the names of executors are omitted in these

abstracts, it is in cases where their names already

appear in the will. Where the witnesses are omitted

it is when they are well-known persons whose names

very frequently occur.

THE OLD HAVILAND INN, RYE, N. Y.

This ancient mansion, a noted tavern, or place of
entertainment, in olden times, was as early as 1731
the homestead of Peter Brown. After his death it
passed into the possession of Rev. James Wetmore,
Rector of the Parish of Rye. In 1763 it was the
residence of his son Timothy Wetmore, who mar-
ried Jane Haviland. As early as 1770 Dr. Ebenezer
Haviland, brother-in-law of Timothy Wetmore, and
afterward a surgeon in the Revolution, kept this
tavern. During the war it was kept by Jonathan
Wright, but it reverted to Mrs. Tamar Haviland,
widow of the doctor. Gen. Washington in his diary
thus alludes to it : " Thursday Oct. 15, 1789. After
dinner through frequent light showers, we proceeded
to the Tavern of a Mrs. Haviland at Rye ; who
keeps a very neat and decent Inn." His next stop-
ping place was at the tavern of one Webb in Stam-
ford. The General describes it as " a tolerable good
house, but not equal in appearance and reality, to
Mrs. Haviland's." In 1774 John Adams stopped
here on his way from Boston to New York. Widow
Haviland was succeeded by Peter Quintard, who was
landlord in 1797. In 1801 the house passed into the
hands of Nathaniel Penfield, and at his death, in

409

4IO The Old Haviland Inn, Rye, N. Y.

1810, fell to his son Henry L. Penfield. The hotel
was a noted stopping place on the Boston road, in
the days of stages, and among its guests was Gen.
Lafayette in 1824. It ceased to be an Inn about
1830, and in 1835 it was sold to David H. Mead, in
whose family it now remains.
